Whoro ©Iso but sunny Florida would you find bermudes at a formal danca? In spit© of Ronnio Cameron's unusual ett.reho ond Barbar© Roman soom to be having a wonderful timo as they live it up at the Junior Class Dance. Amid cries of Beat those Cavaliers! the L's ushered in November. Civitan presented its Cal- endar Girl contest, choosing Alice Schmidt as the loveliest of them all. EBB TIDE staffers were kept busy as yearbooks went on sale and the staff along with Navigator traveled to Miami for the F.S.P.A. Convention. This was the month of open house as P.T.S.A. pre- sented a get-acquainted night for parents and S.C. sponsored College Night. When Pasternak refused the Nobel Prize, it seemed the library just couldn't keep a copy of Doctor Zhivago on the shelf very long. But sen- iors took time out from reading to give the Senior Tea at the Lago Mar. Juniors, not to be outdone, put on their class dance, Moonlight in Autumn, with a huge scarecrow highlighting the center- piece. With the first icy blasts, girls donned the new- est fad, colored tights with crew necks to match. Squeals of delight were heard on the night service clubs delivered invitations, and cries of I'm a rat could be heard from the patio on L Club initiation day. At the traditional Thanksgiving assemblies, Wheel Club placed first in the Thanksgiving bas- ket competition. As Thanksgiving arrived, the L's took off for a few days vacation. The college kids were home, Gigi was playing at the Florida, and left-over turkey was in the icebox as Thanks- giving passed and November slipped into our memories. All morning the hush was oorio. LHS was as silent as the tomb. Silence Day had arrived. Then, third hour pep assembly came like a welcome balm to nerve-wracked students. Their peppy choors rang out to let Broward know the mighty L's were ready for the grid battle ahead. The annual Thanksgiving Basket Contest sponsored by Juniorettes makes for healthy competition among the clubs. Carl Adams, Todd Grehl, and John Barker do some last-minute repairs on Wheel Club's prixe-winning entry.

Wild antic» featuring Judy Orr and Woody Max- well were part of the skit put on by Juniorettos ond Key Club for the lest pep assembly of another successful football season for tho L's. The season's first basketball pop assembly found high spirits prevailing as optimistic students were seen cheering the team they ranked as tops. December swept in, end with it, activities galore for seniors. Their class play, Ten Little Indians, was a suspense thriller de luxe which attested to the hard work put in on it. Then came the long awaited time—Senior Superlatives were to be selected. Each senior deliberated and came up with his choices. The class held its breath waiting, then one week before Christmas, the final results were made known. Wheel Club members presented the annual Santa Claus Hop with Bob Greene. WINZ disk jockey, as emcee. As holidays drew closer, school days seemed to get longer and looks of anticipation took the place of the doleful expressions usually seen on the faces of Lauderdaleans. Christmas Carols emanated from the cafeteria, and beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, and tinsel were present everywhere. When vacation at last came, there was a mad rush to finish that last minute shopping and get everything caught up before Christmas. That the College men were home, is a fact which could easily be gathered from looking at some of the Senior girls' faces. The end of the holidays plunged us into another month. New hands take the reins as Mr. Brower oddrossos the student body for the first time as Lauderdale's principal.
